Drive Started To
Buy Police Car For
Town Of Ranson
A drive to raise funds 'to pur-
Chase a police car for ,the town of
Ranson is being initiated, it was
announced today by l~anson's
Mayor J. Kelly Lance, Jr.
Mayor La,nee said tha.t while the
project is not being sponsored by
the Council, all Ranson officials
as individuals, are backing t'he
move and 'hope the people of Ran-
son will be receptive to the pro-
ject and contribute generously 'to
i't.
Ernest O. Siler, cashier of the
Blakeley Bank & Trust Company,
has agreed to serve a's treasurer
of the fund, and all con;tributions
are to be mailed to the "Ranson
Police Car Fund" in care of Siler
at the Blakeley Bank. Checks Ior
the fund should be made payable
to the Ranson Police 'Car Fund,
Lance said.
Although the need for a ;town
police car in Ranson has been ap-
parent for some time, because of
the town's limited sources of re-
venue, it has not been possible to
budget for such a large expense.
And also since the town's budget
has already been prepared and
approved for this year, i,t was not
possible to allocate any funds in
t:he budget for :this project, ~Mayor
Lance sic,ted.
In the past the ,town :has 'had a
town policeman, but he has al-
ways had to utilize his own pri-
vate automobile in the performan-
ce of his police duties, ~VIayor tan
ce said.
,Mayor Lance said i¢ .is ho,ped
,tha% several t~housand dollars can
be raised by September so that
the part-,time policeman which
the town now has will no longer
have to use 'his own automobile
in performing town police duties.
